When it comes to ancient marriages, Wang Han doesn't know much, but he probably knows that women in the Tang Dynasty were married at the latest at the latest, and if they were not married for more than sixteen, they would be fined. When it came to the Great Song Dynasty, this rule was still continued, but because of Wang Anshi's reform of the law, the age limit was relaxed, and the woman was married at the latest in twenties.

Thinking that Li Qingzhao is nearly 20 years old, he is afraid that he will be fined if he is too late, so he is anxious.

In addition, there is a custom of marriage in the Great Song Dynasty, and the dowry of a woman is higher than that of a man. For example, Fan Zhongyan once stipulated that when a family marries a daughter, the dowry will be purchased according to the standard of 30 times.

In the era of Fan Zhongyan, the price of the Great Song Dynasty was low, and 30 guan was equivalent to 80,000 yuan in later generations, and only with this amount could a daughter be married. In the era of Song Zhezong, inflation, Su Shi's younger brother Su Zhe married his daughter, and deliberately sold his land in Xinxiang, and the dowry reached 9,400 yuan, equivalent to 3 million yuan in later generations.

If Fan Zhongyan and Su Zhe represent a rich and noble family, then the poor family is even more miserable, such as the surplus of women in the Bashu area in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, because [when the Ba people marry a wife, they must be responsible for the wealth]. Later, the local authorities had to give legal provisions to correct this bad habit.

But in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the rules of marriage are still this tune, Li Qingzhao from the age of sixteen to nineteen, being fined is a trivial matter, and the dowry also follows the age, not to mention how the big word person is, the big word person is also a woman, although the Song Dynasty is open-minded, but it is not enlightened enough to let women be officials, and the words are not good, in the eyes of most Song Dynasty men, women are useless in reading, but they are just a fertility tool.

In this context, Li Qingzhao came to force marriage, and it was really a last resort. Wang Han knew in his heart that if he hadn't opened his mouth and said nonsense, Li Dacai had already married last year, and he couldn't have a child this year, oh no, I almost forgot, Zhao Mingcheng couldn't have a child.

As soon as Li Qingzhao came, he thought of an idea and said to Li Qingzhao, Li Qingzhao was surprised at first, then confused, and finally half convinced, and finally sighed, "I'll ask my father." ”

Before Li Qingzhao said goodbye, he looked up at the roof, bit his lip, and said softly: "The house should also be renovated." ”

Wang Han understood, this house is too small, and it is not easy for Li Qingzhao to live when he marries.

When it comes to marriage, the rules of the Great Song Dynasty are no less than those of later generations, and there are many troubles, even if the two are in love, then they have to be hired by three media and six times, even if they don't talk about the rules, the big families will have a dowry girl to follow, and at that time, there will be not one more person in the family, but two or three more.

Wang Han's small two-room, where is enough to live?

replied immediately: "Sister, don't worry, I should prepare a new house." ”

Li Qingzhao was a little unconvinced, and asked, "But do you want to buy something else?" It costs a lot of silver, right? ”

Wang Han replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, everything has my own opinions." ”

After Li Qingzhao left, Wang Hancai scratched his head, and said lightly, if he wanted to buy real estate again, it would be quite troublesome to really do it.

With the current housing prices in Tokyo, it costs 800 taels to buy a small second floor with a courtyard, so where can Wang Han get 800 taels.

Pacing left and right, a flash of inspiration reminded me of someone, Lu Qian.

Two years ago, Lu Qian took advantage of Gao Yu's excuse to hack himself with two hundred taels of silver, and he was kicked by someone, this enemy Han Ke has never forgotten, originally said that he had the opportunity to meet Lu Qian and teach him a lesson, but now he can't wait, he must find the door.

As soon as he said go, Wang Han went out in a hurry, went to the Beicheng Forbidden Military Station, and inquired about Lu Qian at the door to see where he was now. After asking a few times, I finally inquired that now Lu Qian is no longer the head of Lu Jiao, but Lu Yuhou, a celebrity around Gao Dianshuai.

Wang Han was surprised by this, two years ago, Lu Qian was just a leader with less than nine grades, and two years later, he arrived at the fifth grade, is this dog day on a rocket?

is already a five-grade military attaché, naturally not so good, but not looking for him is not good, Wang Han is a person who can't hide the sand in his eyes, thinking left and right, going home again, and starting to make up a white jade brocade mouse, loaded it with a wooden box, went to the forbidden army in front of the palace, and passed through the doorman to report, to find Lu Yuhou, just said that the old man came to visit.

Menzi looked Wang Han up and down, but he was born a talent, Kong Wu was powerful, and he didn't dare to slack off, he didn't want to have a small meeting when he went in, Lu Qian, who was wearing a military attache uniform, came out of the door, and saw Wang Han wondering, I don't know if it was the old man.

Wang Han smiled when he saw him, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Brother, do you remember the younger brother?" ”

Lu Qian smiled, "Look at the kindness of the face, I don't know where I have seen it?" ”

Wang Han opened the box, showed a brocade mouse, and asked with a smile: "Can my brother recognize this thing?" ”

Lu Qian instantly remembered, "Ah, I remember, you are ......"

"Little brother Wang Han." Wang Han gave his hand again, his face was sincere and excited, he almost burst into tears, and said: "Two years ago, my brother's words made my younger brother wake up, and then I went home to practice martial arts. ”

Saying this, Lu Qian smiled, of course he remembered that he had given Wang Han's money two years ago, and said that he would go home and practice for two years and come back, but now that two years have passed, Wang Han has really come.

Two years ago, it was precisely because of Wang Han's two hundred taels of silver that Lu Qian took the road of Gao Yu, and now he has been promoted to Yu Hou, speaking of which, Wang Han is his nobleman.

Without saying much at the moment, Lu Qian took Wang Han to eat and drink, no longer to the foot shop, but to a high-end restaurant, found a private room, went in and asked Wang Han to order, Wang Han asked for two catties of beef according to the custom.

Lu Qian laughed, "After so long, your hobby hasn't changed?" After speaking, he waved his hand and instructed Xiao Er, "Don't want beef, come two catties of venison, two catties of boar, two catties of lamb, one pheasant, two catties of good wine, today I want my brother not to get drunk and not return." ”

Xiao Er squinted and smiled, okay! Then he sang loudly: "Lu Yuhou, the VIP of the private room, wants two catties of venison and two catties of boar......"

While singing, he walked outward, and his tone was tactful and meandering, as if singing.

This is also a characteristic of Tokyo restaurants, which actually originated from the green building. In the Song Dynasty, the entertainment industry was unprecedentedly developed, and geisha had special abilities and could sing all kinds of lyrics and tunes, as long as the literati could write them, she could sing them together, such as Li Qingzhao's Rumeng Ling, which was a famous song at this time, and it was very beautiful to sing, but Wang Han had never appreciated it.

Turn shouting into singing, this is an art, but also a technology, but unfortunately the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed, such a high-end art has been passed down to future generations, and there is only one sentence left to sharpen scissors and kitchen knives.

Wang Han had never been to such a high-end hotel, and he seemed cramped, stingy, and unnatural in his laughter.

Lu Qian was very relaxed, with a superior smile, reached out and took Wang Han's wooden box, opened the lid, took out the white jade brocade mouse to play with, and asked with a smile: "Do you still want to use this gadget to win the favor of the official family?" ”

Wang Han nodded, honest and honest, like a wild man in a mountain village.

Lu Qian laughed twice, shook his palm, turned the brocade rat into a pile of garbage, discarded it behind his head, and then pointed his finger at Wang Han and smiled: "What you think is too simple, where can such a gadget get get into the eyes of the official, and now the official family likes strange stones and plants." ”

Wang Han was stunned, and he didn't seem to understand why the rat he worked so hard to make was treated as garbage by Lu Qian.

Lu Qian took a sip of tea and said, "Now that I have done Yuhou, brother, it's not easy for you to find a way out?" Why follow the path of others? My brother will do it for you. ”

Saying this, Wang Han was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed, "It's all up to my brother to carry him." ”

Lu Qian was proud, let Wang Han sit, and said with a smile: "I know your skills, two years ago, you were able to walk twenty rounds under Lin Chong, and you could force Lin Chong to be in a hurry, but now, I am afraid that you can fight a draw with Lin Chong." ”

This statement has the intention of lifting, but it also reflects Lu Qian's vicious eyes, and at the same time, it also explains the doubts that have been held in Wang Han's heart for a long time, the person who kicked him in the chest two years ago is really Lin Chong, and it is no wonder that Zhou Tong will mistakenly think that Shi Wengong did it, and the brothers and sisters are all the same way.

I was surprised at the moment, "It turns out that the person who competed with me two years ago was Lin Chong?!" ”

Lu Qian's face changed instantly, and he knew that he was speechless, but he quickly turned around and said with a smile: "Two years ago, you were too young and didn't know how thick the sky is, so I asked Lin Chong to teach you a lesson, and now you have woken up?" ”

Wang Han hurriedly replied: "Wake up, wake up, thank you brother for being the first to drink." ”

Lu Qian nodded, very satisfied with Wang Han's intelligence, his eyes rolled around, and he had an idea, and said: "Since the two-year appointment has arrived, my brother should find a way out for you, and with your ability, you will be a captain in the forbidden military camp, what do you think?" ”

Captain? Wang Han was a little confused, and asked first: "What kind of lieutenant is it?" ”

Lu Qian laughed, "Zheng Jiupin, you, if you want to be an official, you can't even figure out the official rank, so it's not okay." ”

Wang Han's face was ashamed, "What my brother taught me is that from now on, the younger brother should take his brother as the leader, and don't dare to disobey." ”

Lu Qian was overjoyed and patted Wang Han on the shoulder, "Okay, from now on, every time my brother is promoted to the next level, you should also be promoted." ”

Xiao Er came in with vegetables, and Lu Qian laughed, "It's all high-quality ingredients, so you don't have to be polite." ”

Of course, Wang Han knew that this was all good material, otherwise how could he appear majestic? Needless to say, the two of them were eating and drinking, most of the time Lu Qian was talking, Wang Han was listening, and the back and forth was nothing more than how awesome and majestic he was in the past two years, and who didn't bird him, he cleaned it up. He also said Wang Han, you don't have to look at anyone's face when you get to the forbidden military camp, whoever bullies you will mention my name, as long as you don't provoke the official family in Tokyo, just walk sideways.

After some blowing, it was already dusk, Wang Han really couldn't eat more, and wanted to help Lu Qian go back. Lu Qian didn't need it, Wang Han had to follow, saying that he was worried about his brother's safety, as if he was loyal.

Lu Qian also deliberately showed off, and took Wang Han to his home not far in front of Xiangguo Temple, which was a large mansion covering an area of more than 300 square meters, with servants at the door, maids at the entrance, and a small servant who came up to take off his shoes and greet the master.

Not to mention the furniture and utensils in the house, in the end, it is a five-grade Yu Hou, which is much more magnificent than Li Qingzhao's house.

Wang Han didn't know that Lu Qian had taken the path of Gao Yu, and he didn't rely on money to live at all, he had a way to make money.

After entering the inner hall, Lu Qian called his wife Hu Shi and introduced Wang Han. That Hu Shisheng was small and exquisite, at most seventeen years old, but he had already become a woman and gave gifts to Wang Hanshanshan.

Wang Han hurriedly returned the salute and said that his sister-in-law was good.

As for the fifteen or sixteen-year-old concubine in the back, Lu Qian didn't bother to introduce it. In the Song Dynasty, concubines had a slightly lower status and could be shared with guests, such as Su Shi, who often exchanged concubines with others.

Now that he has arrived at the place, Wang Han has already remembered the way, so he naturally retreated, Lu Qian did not allow it, grabbed him and did not let him go, he stayed at home tonight, and someone bought wine and food, although it was not as rich as the restaurant in the restaurant, but it was also exquisite, if you want to drink with Wang Han, you can't get drunk today.

Wang Han couldn't get out, so he had to agree to accompany him, and the two of them came and went, and they were drunk from time to time, and they were each helped to rest.

When he woke up, Wang Han felt soft around him, touched it with his hand, and quickly held the lamp to see that it was the little concubine he had seen before, lying on the bed, and the spring was full of light, which frightened Wang Han, and quickly touched himself with his hand, woke the concubine awake, and asked her, "What happened last night?" ”

The concubine was shy and shook her head, "The official is drunk, and the eldest lady ordered me to serve and take care of it." ”

Wang Han was anxious, "I asked you what happened?" ”

The concubine replied weakly, "Not yet." ”

So Wang Han took a long breath, fortunately, his innocent man is still there, otherwise he gave Lu Qian's concubine in a daze, how can he see Li Qingzhao? What's more, what kind of face does it take to get money from Lu Qian?

At this point, Wang Han had a general impression of Lu Qian in his heart, he was definitely not a good person, he was an opportunistic and slippery person, he couldn't be friends, but he could use each other. On the whole, Lu Qian's performance today is very good, although he deliberately showed off, but after all, he invited himself to a good meal, and sent his concubine for his own use, and the man can do this.

The hatred of two hundred taels of silver does not need his life.

The capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, after all, two years ago, he was kicked by someone, even if Wang Han does not hold grudges, then Li Qingzhao is still waiting to marry him, and the house money has to come out of Lu Qian.

I am not sleepy at the moment, I want to say goodbye, let the concubine be disappointed, dress pitifully, carry a lantern, send Wang Han to the door, and greet him in his mouth, "The official will come back next time." ”

Wang Han was furious and asked her, "Did you do anything to me?" ”

The concubine lowered her head and smiled shyly, and ran away.

Wang Han, who watched it, was stunned, the women of the Great Song Dynasty had been opened to such an extent?

Wang Han returned home, and the Zhang family had just come back, and he was nagging about today's good business, earning nearly five times in one night, and he would take it to the silver shop tomorrow to exchange for silver ingots. Holding the box and counting it, he said to Wang Han: "Bao'er, do you know how much savings our family has now?" ”

Wang Han didn't answer, Zhang stretched out three fingers, full of joy, "It's already three hundred taels." ”

Wang Han said: "In this way, the child should also marry a wife, and the mother will start looking for a matchmaker tomorrow to do it, and rest first tonight." ”

In this way, the Zhang family was overjoyed, and before waiting for dawn, he took the money and went out to find the matchmaker, and when he came back, he discussed with Wang Han without mentioning it.

But when it came to the night, Wang Han carried his burden and went to Sweet Water Lane, where there was a brothel in Peach Blossom Township, Wang Han checked in, chose a fourteen-year-old young tooth, and let her accompany her in the room.

The fourteen-year-old girl, in Wang Han's eyes, was really bad, her body was not torn apart, she was a rib body, she couldn't be interested in anything, so she let her sing songs, drink, and use the old method, until the girl was drunk at midnight, he changed into night clothes, stepped on the roof, and went to Lu Qian's house.
